Series 22
“Think about it-what if Freya was the one who planted that necklace in your bag?” Lily suggested, hinting at deeper schemes.
Wren considered this for a moment before responding, “Over the past three years abroad, I’ve mulled over this quite a bit. It seems… She might have done that because of Alexander.”
Lily looked at her with an expression of realization. “You’ve caught on at last!” After a pause, she continued, “I’ve always said Freya’s fixation on Alexander was over the top-almost obsessive. You underestimated her, thinking she cared about your well-being. Remember how she used to update you on the women who were interested in Alexander and advised you on how to handle them? Yet, all it did was push Alexander further away from you. Was she really trying to help you?”
Wren’s lips twisted into a bitter smile as Lily’s words sank in.
She believed Lily was right. How had she been so blind to these details before? Her own naivety had left her vulnerable. She had become a pawn in Freya’s games repeatedly before!
Lily exhaled softly, a look of relief crossing her face. “At least you see the truth now.
Then, as if a thought struck her, Lily asked, “Did anything unusual happen during your visit to the Wright family’s home? Did anyone act oddly when they learned about the hormone medication causing your weight issues?”
Wren shook her head. “Their reactions didn’t reveal much. But I’ve been overweight since childhood. Even if it’s true that I was unknowingly given the medication, it’s unlikely the Wright family is behind it. But I can’t rule out the possibility that someone in the Wright family knows something about this.”
Lily agreed with Wren, nodding thoughtfully. “Right. After all, you only discovered your biological father’s identity at 17. You moved into the Wright family’s home after that. It’s baffling to think someone would target a child that way. It could not possibly have been your mother, right?”
